More about this scene

In 1909 Balderton was a farming parish adjacent to Newark. In the late 17th century the local freeholders and copyholders were happy to accept enclosure of their open-field system, and came to a private arrangement with Robert Williams of Balderton manor. Adopting enclosure meant that sheep and cattle could be kept away from crops.
